Flavio Boltro (born May 5, 1961) is an Italian trumpet and flugelhorn jazz player. Flavio Boltro starts playing trumpet at 9 years old and then enters the Turin school of Classical Music "G.Verdi". During 7 years, he studied classical trumpet, especially with Carlo Arfinengo, trumpet player of Turin's Symphonic Orchestra.
